I disagree. All of the live action ones so far have been redundant (albeit obvious and easy cash grabs) esp The Lion King. Mulan looks more along the lines of Crouching Tiger which has me more interested. I doubt I’ll see it in the theatre but I’ll def check it out later. I doubt I’ll ever watch The Lion King. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was pretty good in Concussion even tho the movie wasn’t that great. I really enjoyed Bright and thought it was an original take on a familiar tale. Nobody does street movies like David Ayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think the opposite. When you consider a good amount of their movies are set around talking animals, you can automatically put those at the bottom. Then you have movies like Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Snow White, Little Mermaid, etc. Those can be made into live action, sure. But the themes and stories are all meant for kids. So the live action does nothing except spark some nostalgia in current adults who liked these movies as kids. Mulan on the other hand is a movie about war, gender equality, and the pursuit of live's meaning. Those are not kids themes. If done correctly, this could very good as live action. Maybe even better than the original, because they can set a more serious tone. Get rid of the dumb talking tiny dragon and other such nonsense, and focus on what's "real". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree about putting the ones with talking animals at the bottom. Jungle Book has proven that can be done well. Peter Pan has already had several live action adaptions, some of which didn't even suck. Mulan was made entertaining by the "kid stuff". The humor and the songs. Getting rid of those is going to leave you with a story about a cross dressing soldier that is going to play right into Disney's worst instincts.

Thelonebillsfan Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) He's really good in Concussion and that was fairly well received. It wasn't gonna win him any awards but it was fine. Edited July 10, 2019 by Thelonebillsfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
